Me hará señales de acudir, por una luz de eternidad cuando me llame, voy a ir. A preguntarle, por ese niño que con su muerte, lo perdí, que con "Nonino" se me fue... Cuando me diga, ven aquí... Renaceré... Porque... ¡Soy...! la raíz, del país que amasó con su arcilla. ¡Soy...! Sangre y piel, del "tano" aquel, que me dio su semilla. Adiós "Nonino".. que largo sin vos, será el camino. ¡Dolor, tristeza, la mesa y el pan...! Y mi adiós.. ¡Ay! Mi adiós, a tu amor, tu tabaco, tu vino. ¿Quién..? Sin piedad, me robó la mitad, al llevarte "Nonino"... Tal vez un día, yo también mirando atrás... Como vos, diga adiós ¡No va más..!  less

After the seminarians were graduated, they swarmed out to fulfill their priestly vocation for the Ukrainians all over the world. The now outside the monastery walls well-known seminarian Choir fell apart while applications for the singing of liturgies and concerts throughout the Netherlands, kept coming. On the initiative of Msgr. AG Smith, dr. Antonowycz founded the Utrecht Byzantine Choir on February 9, 1951, consisting of only Dutch men, who specialized in singing the liturgy according to the Slavic-Byzantine rite. In cooperation with the Apostolate of the Eastern Churches, the UBK initially only sang liturgies according to the Byzantine Rite. Hundreds of parishes in the Netherlands became familiar with ...    less
